Description
Procat revolving punch pliers + eyelet pliers in a set for making a hole in leather, fabric and cardboard and reinforcing the hole with an eyelet. The rotating head of the revolving punch pliers has 6 punches, which make holes of 2–4.5 mm. The set also includes 100 pcs brass-plated eyelets with a diameter of 4 mm.
The punches of the revolving punch pliers are mounted in a rotating revolver head. The head is turned so that the punch of the required size meets the anvil. When the pliers are squeezed, the punch cuts a round hole in the material. The cut-out material comes out through the punch.
The eyelet pliers press the collar of the eyelet around the hole. The eyelet protects the edge of the hole, so the hole does not stretch or tear when a strap, cord or buckle is passed through it. The jaws of the pliers have a pin and a counter recess that shape the collar evenly.
Both pliers have red plastic-coated handles and a shiny metal body. Typical uses are extra holes in leather belts and straps, fixing points at the edges of fabric bags, cases and tarpaulins, and hanging holes in cardboard folders and signs.

Procat revolving punch pliers instructions for use:
1. Mark the spot: Mark the position of the hole on the material. For an eyelet, leave enough material at the edge around the collar.
2. Choose the punch: Turn the revolver head until the required punch faces the anvil. For an eyelet, choose a punch whose hole the collar of the eyelet just fits.
3. Make the hole: Place the material between the punch and the anvil and squeeze the handles evenly until the punch has cut through. In thick leather, turn the pliers slightly while squeezing.
4. Fit the eyelet: Push the eyelet into the hole. Put the pin of the eyelet pliers into the opening of the eyelet and squeeze the handles together until the collar has folded evenly against the material.
5. Maintenance: Remove pieces of material left in the punches and store the pliers in a dry place. A blunt punch leaves a frayed edge.
Warnings:
- Risk of pinching: Keep your fingers away from between the punch and the anvil and between the jaws of the eyelet pliers.
- Materials: Intended for leather, fabric and cardboard; do not use on sheet metal or hard plastic.
- Sharp punches: The edges of the punches are sharp.
- Small parts: Eyelets can cause a choking hazard for small children. Keep out of the reach of children.
